Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11258 Meter: 8.8.8.5 Lyrics: 1 Angel voices sweetly singing,
Echoes through the blue dome ringing,
News of wondrous gladness bringing;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
2 Now, beneath us all the grieving,
All the wounded spirit’s heaving,
All the woe of hopes deceiving;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
3 Sin for ever left behind us,
Earthly visions cease to blind us,
Fleshly fetters cease to bind us;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
4 On the jasper threshold standing,
Like a pilgrim safely landing,
See, the strange bright scene expanding!
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
5 What a city! what a glory!
Far beyond the brightest story
Of the ages old and hoary;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
6 Softest voices, silver pealing,
Freshest fragrance, spirit healing,
Happy hymns around us stealing;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
7 Gone the vanity and folly,
Gone the dark and melancholy,
Come the joyous and the holy;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
8 Not a broken blossom yonder,
Not a link can snap asunder,
Stayed the tempest, sheathed the thunder;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
9 Not a tear drop ever falleth,
Not a pleasure ever palleth,
Song to song for ever calleth;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
10 Christ Himself the living splendor,
Christ the sunlight mild and tender;
Praises to the Lamb we render;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
11 Now at length the veil is rended,
Now the pilgrimage is ended,
And the saints their thrones ascended;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
12 Broken death’s dread bands that bound us,
Life and victory around us;
Christ, the King, Himself hath crowned us,
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! Languages: English Tune Title: [Angel voices sweetly singing]
